With the NBA regular season coming to a close it’s time for awards week at The Hoops Manifesto.\u00a0 We’ve teamed up with some of\u00a0Bloguin’s best NBA writers to vote on who gets the (virtual) hardware.\u00a0\u00a0Next up: Sixth Man of the Year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voters: <\/strong>Jeff Fox from The Hoops Manifesto<\/a>, Philip from Orlando Magic Daily<\/a>, College Wolf and Dan Bonk\u00a0from TWolves Blog<\/a>, Aaron Hodges from Knicks Fanatics\u00a0and Sean Fran\u00e7ois from from Hoop Heads North<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bloguin’s NBA Sixth Man of the Year
\n<\/strong>
\nLamar Odom<\/a><\/strong> – Los Angeles Lakers
\n14.4 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 3.0 apg<\/strong><\/p>\n

He might be best known to the rest of the world as Mr. Khloe Khardasian, but Lamar Odom<\/a><\/strong> is best known to us as the best damn sixth man in the NBA.\u00a0 Hence, he is our choice\u00a0as the\u00a0NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award winner.\u00a0 Tagged with the “next Magic Johnson” label when he first burst onto the scene, Odom spent his early NBA years underachieving and frustrating believers in his immense talents.\u00a0 It was only when he made his second journey to LaLa Land, this time with the Lakers, that Odom was truly appreciated and become a vital cog on a perennial NBA contender.\u00a0 Now his size, athleticism, versatility and unique skill set is being utilized perfectly for the Lakers, and he is as vital to their title hopes as pretty much anyone else on the team’s roster.\u00a0 Apparently crossover stardom is good for his game.<\/p>\n

Others receiving votes: Jason Terry<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/em>
\nNext up: Rookie of the Year & All-Rookie Team
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nPrevious awards: Most Improved Player<\/a>, Coach of the Year<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
